10 × (15 + 3 + 8) = 260, the maximum printed on the sheet. Every test on this site had to reconcile that way before it shipped, and the calculator checks it again in your browser each time you open a sheet, so a wrong pick shows up immediately.

How many marks is an error of course under Cadora rules?
Under Cadora rules the first error of course costs 2 marks, the second a further 4, and the third error means elimination. Marks come off the sheet total before the percentage is worked out. That is the rule in the CADORA Policies & Procedures Manual, Competitions 4-B (matches EC Section E, ART E 9.3.2) (PPM 2012; EC rule 2026), and the calculator applies it automatically. Rules get revised, so where your rule book or sheet differs, the sheet is right. On this sheet that first error costs 2 marks out of 260, which is 0.77 percentage points off the final score.
